Burn Notice is a canny, clever comedy-thriller show about a covert operative with a heart of gold. Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) is in the middle of a top-secret mission when he discovers he's been "burned"--basically, fired without warning. After barely extricating himself from danger, he wakes up in Miami, where the government has abandoned him and locked him out of his own bank account. To make ends meet, he takes on private detective jobs (helping an old lady who's fallen victim to a con artist; rescuing a young girl who's being tricked into white slavery; helping a mother whose son has been kidnapped by the boy's father... only it turns out the father is the rightful parent and the "mom" is an assassin sent to kill him--a nice guest star appearance by Lucy Lawless, Xena: Warrior Princess), while trying to figure out who burned him and why. Westen tries to remain clinical in his approach to these problems, but he always ends up protecting the helpless with his sophisticated spy skills. Over the course of the first season, he gradually uncovers a mysterious conspiracy that plans to use his talents for their own nefarious ends. Burn Notice deftly mixes the old and the new. The old: Our hero has a hot ex-girlfriend (Gabrielle Anwar, Scent of a Woman), a goofy sidekick (cult hero Bruce Campbell of the Evil Dead movies), and a meddling mom (Sharon Gless, Cagney & Lacey) who help and hinder him in his investigations, as well as a MacGyver-esque skill for making deadly devices out of common household products. The new: A media-savvy way of deconstructing the tricks and techniques of spies and government agencies, often resulting in smart and highly entertaining plot twists. Donovan, handsome but cheeky, combines a light comic touch with a convincing secret agent cool, and the supporting cast fill their niches with aplomb. Their escapades are pretty breezy and occasionally skirt being glib, but most of the time the show finds an extremely entertaining balance between action, romance, and humor. The extras are few (some montages of characteristic moments from the series, including one of the many bikini-clad girls the Miami locale provides) and the commentaries, rather than covering entire episodes, just discuss a few select scenes from each show. Fortunately, the series itself holds up; imagine a cross between Magnum, P.I. and The Wild Wild West (the classic series, not the insulting Will Smith movie) and you're on the right track. --Bret Fetzer

I bought this DVD set for my husband because he loves this show. He watched the entire season within a couple weeks and now has to have season 2.

My husband and I both really enjoy this show. We bought it for my dad for christmas and our whole family really enjoyed it (we're all mid-twenties and older). I think it's best described as a newer, improved version of the show MacGyver. The main character is a former spy who is fired (or 'burned') and then reduced to helping those who have been wronged, scammed, or hurt in some other way in order to restore justice for them and earn a living for himself. The main character is resourceful, entertaining, ... Read More

Michael is fun to watch and I love all the 'tricks of the trade' he shares with the viewers. He's the central character but I have to confess that my favorite character is Fiona! *Finally* a female character that doesn't faint at the sight of blood or run away screaming when faced with danger!
It's so good to see Sharon Gless again, she's so perfect as Michael's mother. And I absolutely loved the Cagney and Lacy reference in the second episode, that was great! She knows just how to get what ... Read More

I cannot believe the number of four and five-star reviews for this show. It's everything wrong with television: formulaic scripts that lack anything even remotely resembling originality. The acting is horrible, and I'm a huge Bruce Campbell fan. Sadly, even the Great Ash can't save this hunk of junk, and it's clear he knows it; he's just there for the paycheck. Formula shows seem to dominate today's landscape (okay, maybe 'reality' is number one, but formula is right behind), but this one takes formula ... Read More
